Reactive multilayer thin films are a class of energetic materials that continue to attract
attention for use in joining applications and as igniters. Generally composed of two …

Nanotechnology has stimulated revolutionary advances in many scientific and industrial
fields, particularly in energetic materials. Powder mixing is the simplest and most traditional …

This book summarizes the state of the art in combustion synthesis of advanced materials. It
is a first attempt to summarize and critically review in one monograph the mechanisms of …

Metallic glasses (MGs) are out-of-equilibrium metallic systems known for their unique
structural and functional properties arising from structural long-range disorder. Despite their …

The modern “energetic‐on‐a‐chip” trend envisages reducing size and cost while increasing
safety and maintaining the performance of energetic articles. However, the fabrication of …

CuO nanoparticles (NPs) are applied in various key technologies, such as catalysis, energy
conversion, printable electronics and nanojoining. In this study, an economic, green and …

This review focuses on the properties of reactive materials (RMs) that enable exothermic
formation reactions and their application as local heat sources. We examine how the heat …

We have joined titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) specimens at room temperature and in air by using
free-standing nanostructured Al∕ Ni multilayer foils to melt a silver-based braze. The foils …

Multi material pairings like metal-plastic hybrid compounds are becoming increasingly
important across all industrial sectors. However, the substitution of metals by plastics leads …

While plastics have revolutionized industrial design due to their versatile processability, their
relatively low strength has hampered their use in structural components. On the other hand …
